Educators are more than lesson plans and test scores—they are leaders, mentors, and changemakers. But behind the scenes, many are navigating personal hardships while still showing up for their students. In this special episode of the Rise to Freedom podcast, host Cecilia Columbus shares why the Still Standing Anthology was created—to give educators a platform to share their untold stories of strength, resilience, and perseverance.

🎙 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ Why educators’ voices need to be heard beyond the classroom

✔️ The power of storytelling in healing and inspiring others

✔️ How you can become a contributing author in Still Standing

This isn’t just a book—it’s a movement. If you’re an educator who has faced personal challenges but still showed up, your story deserves to be told.
